From: Max Filippov jcmvbkbc@gmail.com
commit 6ac5a11dc674bc5016ea716e8082fff61f524dc1 upstream.
Xtensa memory initialization code frees high memory pages without checking whether they are in the reserved memory regions or not. That results in invalid value of totalram_pages and duplicate page usage by CMA and highmem. It produces a bunch of BUGs at startup looking like this:

Only free high memory pages that are not reserved.
